Pineapple Cranberry Barbecue Sauce

 

Ingredients:

2 tablespoons of vegetable or olive oil

1/2 cup minced onions (sweet yellow or red)

1 garlic clove, pressed

500 grams of fresh or frozen cranberries, or 1 16oz can of cranberry relish

500 grams of fresh crushed pineapple

½ cup ketchup 

1 cup brown sugar, packed

¼ cup soy sauce

¼ cup apple cider vinegar

2 tsp freshly grated ginger

1 tsp pepper

1 tsp salt (optional to taste) 

Directions:

1. Heat the oil over medium heat in a skillet.

2. Add the diced onions and garlic and cook till translucent (about 4 minutes). 

3. Add all the other ingredients to a non-reactive saucepan and bring to a low simmer. 

4. Add the onion and garlic and let simmer for 30 to 40 minutes. Stir occasionally. 

5. Many of the cranberries will burst open and if you want you can use a potato masher and mash the berries into the sauce.

This sauce is great on pork ribs, in place of gravy, and in sandwiches.
